| HEATHY FACTS: |
DEHYDRATION: WHEN YOU DON’T DRINK ENOUGH WATER
|
Since the weather is finally nice and hot, it’s very important to keep your body hydrated. Dehydration occurs when you do not have an adequate amount of water in your body to carry out normal bodily functions.
Dehydration is a very serious disease. Young children and those over the age of 60 have the highest susceptibility for dehydration and heat stroke.
Dehydration is caused when water does not replace the fluids lost through sweat, tears, urine and stool. It can be caused from overexposure to the sun and heat as well as from sicknesses such as fevers, diarrhea and vomiting.
Symptoms of dehydration may include but are not limited to:
|
- thirst
- less urination
- dry skin
- fatigue
- dizziness
- confusion
- dry mouth
- increased heart rate and breathing
|
|
If you are having one or more of these symptoms, it is likely due to a lack of fluids. Rehydrating yourself is the first important step to recovering. Drink enough water and/or beverages such as sports drinks which will replace electrolytes and salts as well.
In cases of serious dehydration, medical professionals should be contacted immediately. Dehydration is a very serious matter.
The easiest ways to prevent dehydration and heat stroke are by drinking plenty of liquids and by avoiding hot environments for extended periods of time. |

| RECIPE OF THE MONTH |
| Sweet Potatoes with Warm Black Bean Salad |
Ingredients:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
|
|
Directions:
Prick sweet potatoes with a fork in several places. Microwave on High until tender all the way to the center, 12 to 15 minutes. (Alternatively, place in a baking dish and bake at 425 degrees F until tender all the way to the center, about 1 hour.)
Meanwhile, in a medium microwaveable bowl, combine beans, tomatoes, oil, cumin, coriander and salt; microwave on High until just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, heat in a small saucepan over medium heat.)
When just cool enough to handle, slash each sweet potato lengthwise, press open to make a well in the center and spoon the bean mixture into the well. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of cilantro. |
